Migrants Riot At Gunpowder Factory In Russia's Perm

What is known.

The police of the Perm Territory prevented mass riots involving migrants. This is stated in the Telegram channel of the regional head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to the message, now the situation in the Krym microdistrict of Kirovsky is under control: law enforcement officers "carry out routine work to protect public order". "Mass disturbances were not allowed," - emphasized in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Read more about the unrest in the area reported local telegram channels and media with reference to residents. According to them, the conflict began after a group of migrants working at the Perm Powder Plant insulted a woman because of her clothes - she was wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Her husband stood up for her, and a scuffle broke out between him and the migrants, resulting in injuries to the couple. Eyewitnesses claimed that one of the migrants, described as a "community leader," said that all women in the city should observe "Muslim norms" of dress.

The situation has already caused a resonance at the federal level. Yaroslav Nilov, head of the State Duma Committee on Labor and Social Policy, said in a commentary to NEWS.ru that foreign workers at such strategic enterprises as the Perm Gunpowder Factory could pose a security threat. According to him, it is worth checking whether they are legally employed and whether their documents comply with migration requirements. He stressed that the presence of foreigners at sensitive facilities can create risks, including the leakage of sensitive information.

Nilov linked the attraction of migrants to the acute shortage of qualified personnel: young specialists, as the deputy pointed out, are often mobilized, and it is difficult to find a replacement, so the management of the plants resorts to the help of migrant workers.
